Old, Unpatched Flaws Give Attackers Access to Philippines Nuclear Agency

Attackers exploited an unpatched vulnerability in ownCloud to breach the Philippines' nuclear agency, gaining access to systems that stored reactor databases, personnel records, and credentials. The compromise involved commodity flaws that remained unaddressed, enabling threat actors to establish initial access to sensitive national infrastructure.

Why it matters: Nuclear facilities and their operators must patch known vulnerabilities immediately; this breach exposes both operational data and authentication material that could facilitate follow-on attacks against critical infrastructure.
